Genshin Impact has finally given all the details about Gaming’s kit, revealing that he is a four-star Claymore wielder with a Pyro vision. Gaming performs a powerful spinning attack to kill nearby enemies, and the character enters a combat state to recover a certain amount of HP and summon a companion that doles out AoE Pyro damage. Using his elemental skill, he leaps into the air and smashes his companion to the ground to create an AoE effect. Moreover, Genshin Impact‘s Gaming has a unique plunging attack, which deals Pyro damage that can’t be overridden by elemental infusions.
